asserting the place of TK in policy formulation as well as protects the interest of Indigenous People that are often beyond legal dimensions and who must be centrally placed in discussing the access and protection of their resources Through participation in the issues deliberated by the Committee, we will be in a position to infuse relevant knowledge gained from challenges in the national process to better the formulation of an ideal global protection mechanism from the range of tools available as well as gain from recommendations agreed upon for application in the national setting

Country in which the Organization is primarily active:

Kenya

Additional Information:

Please provide any additional information which you feel may be relevant (maximum 150 words)The discussion on the relationship between Intellectual Property law and Traditional Knowledge protection is a contemporary legal concern contending with issues as envisaged by Indigenous People that are within the IP law as well as normatively beyond the legal dimensions of IP law such as ethical, historical, political, moral and spiritual considerations The choice for the most appropriate mechanism for the protection of TK from the available range of tools such as the IP

law, sui generis, defensive protection and documentation or a combination of sorts remain an

issue for consideration and the future development will fundamentally depend on adoption of a framework that will enhance indigenous peoples perspective and interpretations about existing and emerging knowledge management It is a contention of Indigenous Peoples that TK is no longer a raw resource for use and benefit by other knowledge systems but as a legitimate knowledge base that is valuable beyond indigenous contexts
